Massive demand and they can only produce so many at a time. Also priority given to US orders, probably because it's the biggest single market but no-one knows for sure.
The fact that they are made in the US and have to be shipped to the UK and Europe probably only adds about 4-6 weeks in comparison to a US order.
All the ships carrying X3s sail right past the UK are first stop Bremerhaven in Germany which is fair enough I suppose
